survey

Hi! This is Yaning Cao from the College of Education at the University of Urbana-Champaign. I am conducting mixed-methods research on doctoral students' interactions with generative AI in research (e.g., brainstorming research ideas, identifying literature, collecting and analyzing data, writing, and presenting) and how these interactions might shape students' research self-efficacy.

I would like to invite doctoral candidates who have used generative AI in their research to complete an 8-10-minute survey: https://illinois.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4ZRM8tHMWtAJJSm

There will be an optional 1-hour interview. If you're interested, please enter your email address in the survey. Thanks for your time and consideration. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns: yaningc3@illinois.edu

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Yours,

Yaning
